19 Months

Our big boy turned 19 months old a week ago (catching up on posts here, as usual!). We are still in Illinois, visiting my parents which has been wonderful, and Jack is loving all the attention, interaction with the dogs, and plenty of space to run around outside.

These past few months he has really started to grow up and become much more communicative. He can even say quite a few words now and copies a lot of words we say. He's just started "calling" for us, which is so cute. In the morning he'll sit up in his crib and yell, "Dadoo!!" (for Daddy).


We've had to start spanking him with a wooden spoon, as a hand wasn't doing the job anymore and produced more giggles than tears! Now he'll grab the spoon from wherever I've laid it and tap his thigh with it saying, "Bay, bay" (for "obey"). At least he's getting the message!! Ha! He is pretty good most of the time, just pushing boundaries a bit now. He is very relational and loves to be around people, especially men. He has started giving us hugs and kisses when we ask and often kisses my tummy, saying "Baby"...can't wait to see him with his little sister in a couple of months!



He still picks at his food, still loves his paci, is still obsessed with trains, and still adores his Daddy most of all! Our boy is growing up and is in such a fun stage right now. We love you Jacko!
